Six years after investigations began in regards to multiple women accusing Danny Masterson of sexual assault, the That ‘70s Show vet was found guilty of two counts of rape, in a series of verdicts that somewhat successfully ended prosecutors’ retrial efforts. The actor was taken into custody following the decisions, with sentencing to come down the line. He faces up to 30 years in prison.
Masterson was found guilty on forcible rape charges involving two female victims stemming back to 2001-2003, while a third charge earned a split verdict from the jury that comprised seven women and five men. THR reports that the charge that split the group was in relation to his ex-girlfriend Chrissie Carnell Bixler, who came forward and publicly identified herself as one of the accusers. Eight of the jurors favored a guilty verdict in her case, while four opposed.
